Gone
This week I was off from work to spend a few days with friends from Denver, and sit down to finish the seventeen posts I’ve had dangling in ‘draft’ status for quite some time. Unfortunately, all of those will have to wait a little longer. I’m flying to Albuquerque in about an hour to see my grandmother, who was supposed to start chemo on Monday for the lung cancer they found last week.
She went into critical care at the hospital last night. I don’t know much right now. And I don’t know if I can get there in time.
But I’m going to try.
I will be back, just don’t know when. I hope next week. Bear with me.

You weren’t insensitive! I was just…overwhelmed by the responsibility. I was feeling the weight of all the things she was and did and who she was to everyone – I was overthinking it, as usual.
I was glad to speak. I’m so glad that I did, for her and for you. I can’t imagine how hard it would be for you or uncle or aunt to have to do it.
I do feel so loved and and trusted and honored. It just takes me back sometimes, because I wonder if I deserve it.
I am sorry I seemed so insenstive to your position. You did a great job with the obituary.Your words at the service ment alot to me. We love you more than you can know.
If I can give you any words it would be that everything is going to be okay. Remeber that people back home love you and would wake up to a phone call at 2 am just to hear you talk because you can’t stop thinking and can’t sleep because of it. Oh yes and what Rose said… Breathe.
*sends thoughts and prayers to Jules*
You know I’m thinking of you. In the words of my father, breathe. It’ll all work out.
